Ok, so here's the thing...
I've been hammering the gym and various other highly active pursuits in an attempt to be fitter and lose my body fat whilst building muscle. I've even radically changed my diet to assist in my endeavours..
So, not a normal business as usual DBA task obviously, but something I am committed to nonetheless.
Can I shift the remaining fat and become "ripped"? No.
I still stand 76.7Kg (12st 1lb) BMI of 26, Body fat 21.1% Visceral fat 9.
You know, maybe I should change careers to something where I'm more active....
...or maybe not!
I guess the call of the databases is too strong for me to ignore!

Back In The Office!
Well I'm back in the office this morning, which I actually don't mind, it gives me the human conversation that has been missing over the last couple of days (other than that endured in the gym, which usually consists of out of breath ramblings and red faced sweaty "Hello"'s).
Coming back into the office after a couple of days on the night shift reminds me of two very serious points:
1. I'm not built for night shifts... They really take it out of me
2. When working from home, you tend to put in way more hours than necessary
Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining, but I do find it very strange that we feel it necessary to do that little bit extra when working at home, as if we're going to be overly scrutinised by both peers and management because we've not been in the office! I do actually get more done at home, possibly because of less interruptions, and more comfort! Not to mention the ability to actually get a break from work when needed (I'll halt that point in favour of explaining another day!).
It's a short day today anyway, so I'm not going to grumble much more... A technical post will follow shortly, as I feel that I'm posting more rambling than technical posts to this blog at the moment!
